Michael Franti makes tunes that guarantee a smile on your face. I was introduced to him to my late, great friend Richard. Unfortunately Richard succumbed to cancer 18 months ago, but this song was played at his memorial service. When i hear Michael Franti i think of Richard with some sadness but also great memories. RIP Richard and i hope Michael Franti will continue to make music like this x
My son turned me onto Michael Franti about a year ago. He recently unexpectedly passed away. Listening to MF's music both breaks my heart and brings me a bit of joy and hope. Music is a passion I'll forever share with my son and I'm grateful for these songs.
Sorry for your loss. My friend introduced me to Michael Franti. We lost him a month ago to cancer. Playing Michael Franti will now always remind me of him. His funeral is on Monday and this song will be played.
No drugs, no sex, no dirty girls in this song. Just pure positivity which is what this world needs more of. This goes for all of Michael franti's songs! 😃
The last time I saw and hugged Michael was in Bali New Year's Eve/day 2012/2013, I have met him and the band many times in various continents since 97. In April 2013 I had a motorcycle accident which left me paralysed from the neck down and All People helped me in my recovery and rehabilitation. Thank you Spearhead for being one of the best live acts I have ever seen. Looking forward to you coming back to the UK sometime soon. Stay human x
I agree with this song. I would add: turn away from evil, turn 100% to Jesus individually and as a nation and we will be able to have EVERYTHING this song is talking about. There will be no stopping Heaven raining down to Earth.
Michael Franti has to be one of the most underrated artists going, i dont know why the likes of U2, Coldplay etc are known to everybody but Michael Franti who has more talent in his little finger doesn’t get half the recognition? Makes no sense :shakesfist; Michael Franti for world leader!
I love Michael franti. He has no drugs, nudity, or anything like that in his videos. He just has such a positive attitude that can bring smiles to everyone and help them. His music is feel good inspirational. I love him
I have heard his music over the years and liked it. Over the past couple years been through some tough family times and really been doing some soul searching. Lump on top of that everything that is going on right now in our country and in the world and it is easy to be down and cynical. But I had the opportunity to see him live at Red Rocks a week ago. I can honestly say that I have never been more personally impacted by a show in my life. I left that show with a true desire to be a better person. A better husband, a better father and generally a better human. Since that show I have striven every day to figure out what little thing I can do each day to make the world a better place. He said at the start of the show that he got into music because he thought that it could change the world... I think he is doing it. Thank you Michael and your whole organization for doing what you do.
We played this going round the shops at the height of lockdown. To remind people that living in fear wasn't gonna do any body good. Seeing the smiles in people's eyes helped allieviate my own fear we were losing each other.
Michael you ARE the epitome of The 7 Sacred Anishinabe Teachings of Love, Humility, Courage, Respect, Honesty, Humility, Wisdom and Truth. Thank you/Miigwetch for ALL that you do Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually and Physically to make this a kinder & gentler Universe! Absolutely! Peace for ALL by ALL; Always and All Ways!!
The Hug Doctor here. LOVE IT! LET''S RISE TOGETHER. sending biggest virtual hugs with lightness joy and profound possibilities. Thank you MIchael Franti and Spearhead. This year at National Hugging Day on January 21st we had 43 countries uniting in the first ever 21 second hug! Stay tuned for 2019 and would love to have you all be a part of it!
Thank you, Mr. Franti best musician who understands ordinary people and the people affected are showing that those who can not move can have fun otherwise. you're my favorite musician since 2014. I would like to thank my friend's out of New York under pseudomem gattonero is also Musikant like you. Earlier this year it was attacked by aggressors after the funeral ceremony.He had a strong concussion that affected his whole life had lost half the memory.He remembers that those were bad in white. However, he is of Chilean nationality. you know how it works in other countries, the very hatred. You also his favorite he is kind and humble has been anybody
Trying to spread the message is hard. Even in small groups like East Palestine, OH, people are just divided. Your songs continue to give me hope. Thank you to everyone who helped us out this past year. I'm hoping we can repay this charity with the charity of our own, in turn.
OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!! I made it in!! I'm the dorky white girl in the girl in the green jacket and jean shorts. I thought the guy retrieving the wheel chair was gonna run me over lol the woman with the dread near me is my really good friend :3 . That was so much fun!!
I swear this song, vid is realest to the its core. Im in a cafe and Im frickin tearing up. Thank Michael Franti and everyone involved in making this video happen. #Riseup
hey guys I'm in this song I'm the girl that's in the striped pink and white shirt even though I was only in the video for like to seconds I'm still soooooo gratefull
This really shines through & through! Nothing but positive vibes! This what’s needed today ! More than ever. I had the opportunity to Meet Michale Franti a few years back! This guy was so down to earth!
I've got to meet Michael Franti in person ! I went to a concert for the cure back in October of 2015 . I had My picture taken with him he is really down to earth one of the nicest person you'd ever want to meet !
We all need Michael Franti now, more than ever. Been a fan since "Home" released. Seen Spearhead and Co. 6 times over the years. I gotta get back and listen to the new stuff.
After reaading about his background, I must say I admire the fact that he kept his adopting father's last name as his stage name. His parents can be nothing but proud of him.
Oh dear oh dear I feel for the 18 thumbs down .. maybe we can help them rise up and overcome Aroha from Aotearoa to everyone in the universe .. the gift if music is .. The Gift of Life😇😇😇
We look back on our tough times and remember the music that got us through it, In these tough times I gravitate to your music and words for inspiration, hope, a smile and butts wigglin'.
this song is amazing, heard it on the radio one day and got it stuck in my head. Thankfully, the words such as "we're all gonna rise up" and "once a day" stayed with me because it is so frustrating when you hear a song on the radio you don't know the name or artist of
+Vodun13 Use the Shazam app on your smartphone. Set it up to search as soon as you open it up, and put a shortcut on your home screen. Once you do that, when you hear a song anywhere, press the Shazam shortcut icon. The app will open and immediately start searching for the song, based on what it picks up from the phone microphone. The app uses simplified versions of millions of songs to figure out which song it is. It's very accurate. Once the song and artist appear, you can easily send the song info to yourself or someone else. Press on Share. Then you can share via email, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail or several other apps. It's all really cool and very easy to use. Plus the basic app is free. I used the app to find the title of this song, which I heard in a restaurant.
I love how this video have many representation and diversity with different race, gender, religion, sexuality, disability and body shapes and it makes me smile on my face. I wish the video had so many views, It deserves a lot recognition!! :D 💖

Thanks for posting!🔥Abundant BLESSINGS to everyone in these comments (past, present & future)and to ALL whom your life touches!! 🙏 May the🖖💛💚💙💜❤ Be With You!✌
Dear Michael Hope your son is okay right now, thanks for inspiring others...this is pure generosity. If your son still needs a cure, try Pranic Healing. It is all around the world. And it is producing some miraculous healings unexpected sometimes.
I am so happy that this song exists. It makes me feel happy. The video is full of happiness 💕 nothing but dancing and hugging and doing fun things. That's what this world needs.
I already love Michael (and the band)'s music, and this new song is fantastic. What stood out to me about the video is the delightful diversity! Such a variety of genders, races, ages, abilities, orientations, weights, etc etc. Like a gorgeous human garden! TV and movies should aspire to look like this, like us, like life. Blessings to you!!!
Heard this today on Hawaii Five-0 (season 8).What a great song!! Greetings from sunny Durban, South Africa. Another beach city loving this song, rollerblading on the beachfront. Thanks for sharing and your message, Michael.
